A panel discussion featuring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., in Boston next week has been moved due to security concerns amid a contentious battle to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Flake was confronted by sexual assault survivors at the Capitol on Friday after he said he would vote to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Flake is appearing Monday at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Boston to discuss the future of the Republican Party. The panel discussion, which will also feature fellow GOP member Ohio Gov. John Kasich, was originally scheduled to be held at Emerson Colonial Theatre. Emerson College President Lee Pelton decided to cancel the event “for safety reasons.”
“The College just found out about Sen. Jeff Flake’s appearance in Boston on Monday. … We are seeking to exercise our right as the owners of the Colonial to have the panel canceled for safety reasons. I will keep you updated,” he said in a statement.
In a later statement, Pelton said the event would be moved to a different location.
“The Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit panel discussion with Sen. Jeff Flake and Gov. John Kasich has been moved to a more secure location in Boston. Emerson College is pleased that this important topic can be discussed and debated,” he said.

Flake, in his jump to the left, is about to learn that there’s no such thing as ideologically pure enough to survive the left’s purges.
Even Corker knew better than to go this route with a Supreme Court nominee. Jeff is making himself some very energized enemies in the republican party, more than he already had.
From now on, his name is MUD.
If I could talk to Flake: Jeff, Dems don’t like you. They use you. You showed yourself to be such a coward, unable to be at all decisive and finally “saved” by a small female staffer. No one wants you in their team. No one likes someone who sabotages his own team.
Flake and Kasich “to discuss the future of the Republican Party...”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bush League Republicans want their party back.......
They had US in box voting endlessly for their amnesty candidates with no hope of stopping the illegal alien inundation.
I can envision Torches and pitchforks from a more conservative part of the population...
I don’t watch television so I don’t know what most of these jerks look like. This is Jeff Flake?? What’s wrong with his nose? Did one of those ‘victims’ whack him in the face?
Not even in the dark days of the SDS and Black Panthers were elected officials at risk as they are today.

28 Sept: Boston Globe: Flake’s planned talk in Boston moved amid safety concerns

I never believed God made a mistake. Then Jeff Flake appeared.
Two a-holes who have done their personal best to split the party, and destroy it.
Flake has wasted a perfectly good body.
What’s wrong, Jeff? Don’t you want to meet all your new friends? They still aren’t done trying to
‘get your mind right’. This is just the beginning.
You may even get a job offer when you leave the Senate. A job offer as a Lobbyist for Soros related causes. Bound to pay real good!
I knew this interchange on Ingraham Angle would get picked up quick. Arroya’s not the only person who is suspicious:
28 Sept: Media Matters: “Look at me, look at me”: Laura Ingraham and guest mock sexual assault survivors for protesting Jeff Flake, ask if protest was “staged”
Raymond Arroyo: “By giving into this horde, you’re going to unleash another antifa-like swarm, and this will continue”...
ARROYO: But this built to the moment today, when Jeff Flake, who was always on the fence about whether he was going to vote Kavanaugh out of committee, was cornered in an elevator today. You showed it earlier. We’re going to let people hear it. This is that moment that Flake claims caused his change of heart.
INGRAHAM: This looks like a —
ARROYO: I worry about this. Do you think this is staged? Might have been staged, to justify the change of heart?
INGRAHAM: “Look at me, look at me” — I’m sorry, but, first of all, who’s his staff?

I think maybe his wife hit him with her purse when he brought her the wrong fork at lunchtime.//

BWAHAHAHAHA . . . SB, ya took the words right outta my mouth “ Pussy of Pussies”. GMTA ;o)
He looked like he literally sh*t his pants..honestly if I were him and these two Soros idiots came screaming at me, I would tell them “You can scream all you want idiots but Kavanaugh has my vote so go F yourselves” see that easy!
VIDEO: 28 Sept: Fox News: Tucker Carlson: Jeff Flake Is ‘Ringmaster of the Partisan Circus’ After Calling for Kavanaugh FBI Probe
Flake (R-Ariz.) had voted to send Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination to the full Senate.
He said before the vote, in agreement with Democrats, that he’d be calling for a one-week delay to allow the FBI to investigate the sexual misconduct claims against the nominee...
“Jeff Flake crumbled,” Carlson said, noting that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) commended Flake for rising above “the partisan circus on display.”...
“In Washington, when they congratulate you on leaving the partisan circus, chances are you are now the ringmaster of the partisan circus. And of course Jeff Flake is exactly that,” Carlson added...
Carlson said that the impending FBI investigation into Judge Kavanaugh does not mean much.
“If you’re looking for truth, this would be an utterly pointless exercise,” he said.
